TOYS FOR THE OLDER BOYS 
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

BIG KNOB COLOR JUMBO FUZZ
The last Tonebender Fuzz was the MK4 It was not so different then the MK3 except it used  Silicon transistors not Germanium. You could still get some splutter and growl but it did have drop outs nor does it turn chords into mush. At the time no one was buying the MK3 they were more interested in a new maker EH who had a pedal called a Big Muff ...lol.
A big reason for the success of the Muff was you could use it like a modern OD in the days that proceeded it's invention! The Colorsound Jumbo Tonebender certainly did a good job fighting back. Big knob has faithfully did the closest I have ever heard by anyone to make the perfect sonic replica!!! At $130.00 USD it is truly a steel.

SHOE PEDALS ROBERT FUZZ
This pedal sounds in every way like a '66 Burns Buzzaround a Fuzz with the balz and girth of a old Big Muff but the warmth and richness of germanium transistors. Even at low volumes this pedal has a very, very long sustain and can jump an octave. This only happens on 99% of other Fuzz pedals when they are assisted by a lot volume coming out of an amp promoting feedback. Verdict: Killer!!!!

TOM'SLINE AROMA PURE ECHO DIGITAL DELAY
If you do not have a Delay this 'it'. It has 3 voices, regular, vintage tape delay and a modulation delay that beautifully covers all the ambience type moody stuff. It has a high end chip so it gives you that full rich fat Strymon quality sound! Hey! read those last 6 words again!!! I an talking about Strymon!!!
It is $35.00 USD it is hard to get a decent analog delay for this price. As much as I love all 3 of my analog delays they are by nature never pristine clean or have any serious highs. In short a good D.D. will fit into anything where you need a delay but an analog will not.

GUITAR A FENDER FOR A GIBSON LOVER
It is all about the LENARD F-4G guitar that looks very Fender like but is not a clone of just one model of Fender. It has a Tele bridge PU and a Strat neck & middle PU. The neck looks like a Fender but it is a 24 1/2" Gibson scale and feels like a LP when you wrap your hand around it. It is for a Gibson guy that wants the best of Fender's sounds but wants it to feel and play like a Gibson. Hand made quality but under $1000.00 USD.

MOSKY PLEXI-M
Good ol' Mosky's is cloning again! They took Carl Martin's Plexitone and borrowed the high gain part of it. Does it sound the same. NO! lol
I think it sounds a lot fatter. Seriously if you heard it and were told you were listening to a high end gourmet pedal you wouldn't even blink. It is a mini pedal too ...easily fits on your board. Price $20.00 USD!!!! 
Yes you read that right and No I am not exaggerating. Listen to the video on my Post!!!

1921 Gibson Les Paul
prototype
note the arched top
Unfortunately the idea was put on hold
for a few decades
because Seth Lover was only 11 years old
and being a naughty boy he didn't
have the PAF ready until 1955.
